This month, the Jones family are opening their latest restaurant, The Jones Family Affair, sister to The Jones Family Kitchen in Belgravia.
Situated in the heart of theatreland, just off Trafalgar Square, the Jones Family Affair is a restaurant spread over two floors. Interiors are a passion of the owner, who has a wonderfully eye-catching style, with a love of florals and colour, shown in some of the House of Hackney and Timorous Beasties upholstered pieces of furniture and on the walls.
The art is another focal point, again curated by the owner and he art will change from time to time, to showcase young up-coming artists along with new pieces.
The Jones Family Affair is passionate about their steak, and the restaurant collaborates with England’s premier farmer and butcher, The Ginger Pig. The menu centres around steak from grass fed Longhorn cattle and Tamworth pork.
Starter dishes include Jones’ House Smoked Bacon Salad, Jones Fillet Tartare with truffle and beef dripping toast or Pan-Fried Scallops with Black Pudding.
Fish arrives daily from day boats in Cornwall and the South Coast through Flying Fish, who pride themselves on the highest quality and sustainability.
Choose from Pan Fried Cod, with Fennel Spinach and Orange or Turbot with Leeks, Grilled Cauliflower and Mushrooms. The menu will always include vegan options and a tempting selection of daily specials.
Additional signature dishes include: Jones Chuck Burger served with slow cooked oxtail, iceberg, tomato, sesame pickle & fries, add Ginger Pig bacon & mature cheddar and Tamworth Pork Chop served with Chorizo, new potatoes, spinach, confit garlic and paprika butter, black pudding. Vegetarian options include Roasted Pumpkin with parmesan flan, lentil stuffed cabbage and cauliflower tempura.
The lunch menu also includes lighter dishes such as a Superfood Salad or ‘Everything on Toast’ including avocado, spinach and poached egg.
The Desserts menu includes Chocolate & Peanut Cream Cake, Pear Tatin, or a selection of British cheeses.
Cocktails play a big part at The Jones Family Affair; the list is inventive and wide ranging, with a spritz of modern and large glug of the classics.
With so many theatres on their doorstep, a pre and post theatre menu will appeal to the ballet and theatre crowds of WC2. The menu offers 2 courses £19.50 and 3 for £23.50.
